Dental crowns are restorations that strengthen and protect damaged teeth. They are caps that cover the entire tooth, restoring its natural shape, size, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including ceramics, metals, porcelain, and resin. They are permanent fixtures that are cemented onto teeth and can last for many years.
Crowns are ideal for patients with severely decayed, broken, misshapen, or discolored teeth. They can also support bridgework, cover dental implants, or protect teeth that have undergone root canal treatment. Traditional crowns typically require two visits: one to prepare the tooth and place a temporary crown and another to fit the permanent crown.
